Mathew Brady and the Image of History

Rating:
Summary: this book is the last word -and best word- on Brady
Review: This book is the last word -- and the best word-- on Brady. It is the perfect gift for the photography buff, the portrait buff. the civil war buff. The author has written a terrific text which places Brady in context. After reading the book and looking at the images you understand why Brady died flat broke--but yr heart breaks for him.
